When the lyrics fight back: Talking Tied to the Beat with Javier Lianes García
Plenty of games ask you to fight to the rhythm. Tied to the Beat has a slightly stranger proposition: what if the actual words in the song started messing with you too? Created by solo developer Javier Lianes García under Lianes8 Studio, Tied to the Beat is a music-driven arena survivor where players take control of a musical instrument, build up attacks and attempt to survive until the song ends.
